Wacatac B ml detection from defender in bdservicehost.exe

Steve567

I had some issues with bitdefender not always starting after restart.

I run the uninstall tool, restarted the pc, downloaded bitdefender from central. Somewhere in the process, defender removed bdservicehost.exe as it was flagged as Wacatac B ml, which I discovered later.

After this installation, i got the message in windows security that bitdefender antivirus was delayed.

I could not start the antivirus realtime protection nor the ransomware protection.

Could this be a flase positive?

@Steve567 ,

Please keep us posted. It sounds like Windows Defender had a "False Positive," to be sure! You should have been able to restore the BD file from the Defender Quarantine.

Good luck, and have a great day.
